Growing neutrino cosmology
arXiv:0905.0715
Abstract
In growing neutrino models, the neutrino mass increases in time and stops the dynamical evolution of a dark energy scalar field, thus explaining the 'why now' problem. A new attractive force, mediated by the 'cosmon' scalar field, makes non relativistic neutrino form lumps on the scales of superclusters and beyond. Nonlinear neutrino lumps are predicted to form at redshift z ~ 1 and, if observed, could be an indication for a new attractive force stronger than gravity.
